I left my heart in Palm Springs.



Our Pam's nuptials in Palm Springs stole us all away from the store for a weekend and stole our hearts forever. The ceremony was a dream set atop a grassy oasis in the middle of the Southern California desert, surrounded by the splendor of the chic Viceroy Hotel. The couple's I do's may have been 18 years in the making (beginning with a homecoming dance at 14), but the ceremony was almost more than memory could bear. A charmed, twinkling, colorful evening full of love and lovely people. We are so happy for Pam and Josh!
